Vitamins

My surgeon did not really have a "list" of vitamins to take, so I did some research and came up with my own. Just wondering what ya'll take daily? Here's my list Vitamin C 2000 mg Polysaccharide Iron 150 mg Vitamin A&D 10,000 IU B-12 500 mcg B Complex 2 a day Vitamin E 400 IU Calcium Citrate 3000 mg Multi 2 a day Zinc 50MG

Hey Amy Here is my list as was prescribed by my Bariatric Dr....not my surgeon Bariatric Advantage Chewable mulit Vitamin (high in A, D, E & K) Twice per day Bariatric Advantage Chewable iron (29mg) & Vitamin C Twice per day without food Sublingual b12 1000mcg per day Citrical 500mg three times a day with food Benefiber 3 times per day (that is what they told me) She also gave me a B12 shot which was the best thing EVER......I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned .....i had so much energy........

Hi Amy! This is what I take! Morning: 2 chewable kids vitamins, 1 sublingual b12 (1000mcg), 1 L-lysine (i take this to prevent cold sores, has nothing to do with my bariactic doc), 1 thiamine (very important they are finding thiamine deficiencies in wls patients now... effects can be irreversible neruological damages). Actigall, 1 cap since they are watching my labs/gall bladder still. Lunch: Calcium Citrate with Vit D 500mg Dinner: Calcium Citrate with Vit D 500mg After Dinner: Iron, vit c (take together to aid absorption and never within 2 hours of you calcium or multivitamins.. calcium will always fight for absorption and always wins) and colace plain stool softener. 1 actigal. Before bed : Synthroid (my prescription med).

are you taking B-12 sublingual? just checking because if you had RNY your tummy cannot absorb B-12. I take a prenatal vitamin and 2000 biotin. calcium citrate I take 500 twice a day- How much do you take at once? Your body can only absorb 500 at a time in addition is should not be taken at the same time as your other vitamins. I cannot believe that your surgeon did not give you a list of what he feels you should take. My surgeon has a nurse that works specfically with things like that to be sure you are getting in what you need. It is a very serious matter and he really should be making sure patients get the information they need to stay healthy.~Terisa

I do take sublingual B-12. The calcium i take 2 400mg tablets 3 times a day. I have been taking all the above since surgery and my labs have been perfect. I have been thinking of adding some Vit K because I have noticed bruising latley. What is the thymine for?
